My initial inspiration for working with glass is its inherent grace and beauty. The ability to transfer and capture the organic fluidity of the molten glass in a finished form or vessel is absolutely magical and amazing. The fact that I work in two related fields [offhand blown glass and lamp worked glass] has allowed me the unique and challenging opportunity to incorporate individual techniques and skills of each into the other. Glass is binding. My father has always talked about dancing with the glass and living with it. I believe I finally understand what he means. It is a part of me now, a part of everything I do. I love it!
